6 sided socket Advice

[coffee]

Thing is I already am overflowing with sockets otherwise it would be the bacho if I had nothing already

When I used to do welding at a garage most of the mechanics there had Snap on cabinets full of cracking tools and I used to blag some of the older ones off them because they were really fanatical and would replace good tools just because they were a bit worn,anyway over the years Ive collected 2 cabinets and a couple of tool boxes full of pretty much everything youd need the thing is over the last few years Ive noticed that whether its on the bike or car I never seem to use more than a handful of the same tools over and over,I swear I could get by with a 3/8 drive socket set,a few Torx bits,allen keys,some heavy tools etc.It makes me wonder whether it was worth buying and collecting all those tools,I think Ive got 2or3 1/2 inch drive socket sets,5 or 6 metric ring and combi spanner sets etc,etc, then the other day I was putting some rear pads on my daughters car and had to buy a large Torx socket!!! it makes you wonder how many of these old tools will be any good on modern cars in the future don't it ? :lol
